Researchers would like to know the mean body temperature of runners at the completion of a marathon. They plan to take a random sample of 100 runners who complete a marathon and record their temperatures. Which of the following will the researchers know after they have taken the sample? Explain your answer in each part. a. The value of the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean. b. The approximate shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean. c. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

They would know a and b.

a. The mean of this distribution, by the Central Limit Theorem, is the sample mean, and thus, the researches would know this after they took the sample.

b. Sample size is 100 > 30, and thus, by the Central Limit Theorem, they would know that the shape of the distribution is approximately normal.

c. To know the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean, the researchers would have to know the population's standard deviation, which they can't get for the sample. So they would not know the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean after they took the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

a. The value of the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

The mean of this distribution, by the Central Limit Theorem, is the sample mean, and thus, the researches would know this after they took the sample.

b. The approximate shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

Sample size is 100 > 30, and thus, by the Central Limit Theorem, they would know that the shape of the distribution is approximately normal.

c. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

To know the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean, the researchers would have to know the population's standard deviation, which they can't get for the sample. So they would not know the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean after they took the sample.

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event aâ†µect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?
